“Why is it," he said, one time, at the subway entrance, "I feel I've known you so many years?"
"Because I like you," she said, "and I don't want anything from you.” 

― Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451

Excerpt: 

“I’m claiming you as my best friend.” Tiffany clarifies.

“I don’t think it works that way.” Taeyeon laughs and shakes her head, feeling like a grown up attempting to explain an abstract idea to a child – the concept of friendship.

“Do you like me?”

“I do, but…”

“Life doesn’t have to be so hard, Tae.” Tiffany asserts - and it is almost convincing. 

ps: I am writing a few lines a day so it's that kind of writing exercise. Sorry!
